To wit: to woo.
Me: I don't wanna alarm anyone, but I think someone in this room might be an owl.
Sisters kids: Who? WHO?
Me: gasp OH NO IT'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!
cue 2 hours of 4 small kids running around the house like nutcases screaming who at each other
Sister: You don't get to tell my kids dad jokes anymore. You're not even a dad Me: I'm a faux pas
I suggested the male owl was trying to mate with the female. My friend said no, they were probably married and it was a domestic dispute. Our professor said, "maybe someone forgot to pay their owlimony."
An owl, because they give a hoot!
I did my best owl impression, complete with hooting noises and flappy wings, whilst offering tea, backrubs and pillow fluffs. When she finally asked what I was doing I replied "my owly check".
I'd like to say the groan was due to ailment, but it was all me.
Me: "You'll get a hoot out of this." hand her the earring
Her: "I was wondering where this went!"
Me: "Well now you have owl of them."
Dad : remember when you were so into owls?
Mum: I was never into owls, that was the theme for The kids room.
Dad : I swear it was owls, all I remember was a solid 2 months of owl this and that.
Mum : ugh whatever, I don't even care.
Dad : you mean you don't give a Hoot...
Eye rolls ensued
Me: "I don't know why the owl socks haven't shipped yet. I ordered the cat socks three weeks ago from the same company, and they shipped in two days. If they don't get here by Christmas, I'll have to ship them down to [Sister's] house in Tennessee, after she's left."
Dad: "Oh, I'm sure she won't give a hoot."
We were walking around the lights section and she ran off, grabbed a light shade with owls on it and said "oh my god I love this one...it's a hoot!!" I think she's a keeper guys.
It was spirit week at work (to raise money for American Cancer Society) and today was pajama day. I showed up in my pink owl pajamas and looked real cute. Anyways as we're leaving, he almost slips on the hardwood, forgetting he wasn't wearing shoes.
Me: (laughing) are you okay? Him: yeah, I'm sure that was a real... Hoot. insert groans from other co workers
Talking with my mom and dad and my mother was talking about the owl festival going on a few miles away this weekend. My dad and I look at each other and roll our eyes and I say, "sounds like a hoot..."
